Yep, that's the beauty of federated instances.
I agree. I've submitted a bug report already about the username/email address issue.
They will do that if the username and/or email address is already taken. I've seen it on my own instance. There are possibly other reasons as well.
That's great, although I'd like to see some others up there as well to keep the fediverse healthy.
Does anybody know what the hardware specs are that lemmy.world runs on? It would be nice to get an idea of the hardware requirements to scale up that far.
If you followed the guide to use Ansible, there should be a 'extra_themes' folder where you put the css file.
For example, my install is in: /srv/lemmy/feddiverse.org/volumes/lemmy-ui/extra_themes
Nice. I hope this momentum continues to grow.
I would be up for something like this. I host my own 8nstance as well. I'm having issues updating communities though. Every time I try I get the button spinner of death. I think in the end, the software is buggy and needs some time to get the bugs worked out, but it is frustrating.
